Triggered? Me! How dare you?!

Don't know why there's argument. Cornes will have moved on to some other self-opinionated clickbait by tomorrow.

 

I just see Kane Cornes as the Andrew Bolt of the football world. Need I say any more?

All except Kim Jong Un dear leader of Nth Korea. He apparently never defecates, bowls a perfect 300 and hits 52 on a round of golf.

excellent correction

Cornes is now concentrating on calling Norff and Eagles fat unfit footballers. That should keep him busy for rest of the season.

I am excited to hear his take on Freo too.

He did tell me last week that Grundy is better than Jackson, which is somewhat a revolutionary opinion.

What really? Don't tell me he has blamed Dan for the booing JHF?


I love the way Clarry is so underrated by the media

Just ask the coaches whoā€™s the best player in the last couple of yearsĀ

Bontenpelli at No.2, interesting.Ā 

On a related note, if I recall correctly BT's famous line in the 2021 GF after kicking that 3rd quarter goal along the lines that if "the Bulldogs go on to win, he will be remembered as on of the greatest Dogs of all time" following which 'The Bont' was bearly sighted and we all know the rest of the story.

Hopefully Kane's player ratings can have a similar kiss of death influence on those he's named?

Interesting that he's not included every other Ch 7 comentators favorite for the Brownlow of Daicos.Ā  Guess that will get some more clicks and chatter for going against the grain.Ā  On the general Kane strategy, I'm not sure if any have read the below publishedĀ  reciently in The Guardian, but I think it generally hits the nail on the head:

I get Cornes is divisive but what's wrong with the list? Hard to argue with the top 4. Dangerfield should be replaced by Clarry.Ā 

This.Ā  Dangerfield was useless first couple of rounds.

Absolutely useless if he wasnt Dangerfield he would have been axed if Scott had any guts

Dan would have got someone else to boo for him and then denied any knowledge of asking them.

This man is a jerk, and 40 good posters have fallen into his trap. Why are we giving anything he says oxygen?

Iā€™d like to propose that nothing the jerk says should be referenced on DL. If people didnā€™t react to the [censored] he writes, then maybe he will get back to being a half decent football analyst. Letā€™s please treat him like HWCBN (if thatā€™s the correct abbreviation), and ignore him. His treatment of Kossie and comments about Jackson were the last straw for me.

WOW - that guy is SO on the mark. I wonder why no one else has picked up on it and written about it with such accuracy before (or maybe they have, and I just haven't seen it).

Iā€™ve heard those top three a bit recently. Funny, I remember in a particular game at the end of 2021 when halfway through the third quarter, the commentators were raving about Bontempelli. Oliver went on to him, Bontempelli was hardly seen again, and Melbourne dominated. Doesnā€™t that say something about the respective quality of the two players? It was, after all, a reasonably important game.Ā 

I am not knocking Oliver, but the Bont is ALSO "very special". i think the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Dangerfield did not have much impact in the first couple of games ala Curnow. But then Cornes cannot remember past something that happened 3 weeks ago ( way beyond his recogisence limit "

Agree with you in reference to his treatment about Kozzie but I thought his comments about Jackson were spot on.

Essentially called LJ a poor key forward and that's exactly what he is.Ā 

Ā 

Anyone who doesnā€™t have Oliver in the top 5 players in the game is not actually watching football.Ā 

Further to above, wholeheartedly agree.Ā Ā 

In the Melb Commentary they all seem to wrap Oliver but contradict the whole process by not following through, which, by the way, i'm not displeased about.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
